An ode to ’09

December 31, 2009 6 Comments
The end of the year brings out something crazy in me. I want to wrap up the year in a neat little bow for myself, and for you. But, that’s not so easy.

So, are you wondering how this crazy blogger with unrestricted access to a keyboard will wrap up the year? I’ll do it similar to how I did it in 2008.

A lot went down in ’09.
- We bought, renovated and found renters for our second house, the little house.
- We jet-setted to the exotic locales of Atlanta, Ga., Phoenix, Ga., Memphis, Tenn., and Galena, Ill.
- Ryan rocked the dining room with wainscoting.
- Kim learned the joy of having two heated blankets at her disposal, along with a Snuggie.
- Three of Ryan’s fingers were broken.
- We grew our first vegetable garden and had an abundance of produce to show for our hard work..

- Kim read the Twilight series. During which she refused to shower, clean the house or cook.

- Kim painted every piece of oak furniture within a 20 mile radius.
- We built a rain garden. (Actually, Ryan built it and Kim planted.)

- Kim showed off her stylish work wear. Everyone rushed out to get a Woodward University sweatshirt.

- Kim made it into the newspaper… twice.
- The delay timer on the washer revolutionalized Kim’s life.
- An upholstered headboard was born.
- Ryan gallivanted around on his death machine diesel motorcycle.
- Kim put up 12 Christmas trees.
- Ryan went to Yellowstone solo. (Kim is still bitter.)
- We made at least 12 new recipes.
- Franco nearly met his death when he knocked over the Christmas tree.
- Lola humored her momma by posing for hundreds of photos by the Christmas tree that remained. That dog warms my heart.
- We celebrated a wonderful second year of marriage.

Thank you for reading about our adventures in 2009.

The journey continues.

Happy New Year!
